?Chapter 502: Chapter 498: Slaying the Dragon in the Dream Chapter 502: Chapter 498: Slaying the Dragon in the Dream “Indeed, the Jinghe Dragon King intended to do so, but Yuan Shoucheng’s divination skills connected directly to Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Court had suddenly issued a divine decree, requesting the Jinghe Dragon King to bring rain the next day. The time specified on the decree was precisely the same as Yuan Shoucheng’s calculations. The Jinghe Dragon King, being overly competitive, altered the time for the rainfall, thereby breaching the Heavenly Law. As a result, he was discovered by the Heavenly Court and was decapitated and lost his life,” Cheng Yaojin continued.
“So that’s how it happened. But why did the Jinghe Dragon King want to seek revenge on His Majesty?” Lu Huaming seemed enlightened, but then asked again.
“Upon realizing that he had broken the Heavenly Law, the Jinghe Dragon King sought help from Yuan Shoucheng. Yuan Shoucheng predicted that the Dragon King would be beheaded by Prime Minister Wei Zheng on behalf of heaven at the third quarter of midday the next day. He advised the Dragon King to seek His Majesty’s help. Touched by the Dragon King’s sincerity, His Majesty summoned Wei Zheng to the imperial bedroom the next day and kept him by his side with the intent to delay time, preventing Wei Zheng from leaving the palace to execute the Dragon King. They managed to delay until noon and both the king and the minister were having a game. Wei Zheng, having been exhausted by his duties, fell asleep at the table. His Majesty let him nap and did not call him. When it was the third quarter of midday, His Majesty thought that the Dragon King had escaped the calamity, but he saw beads of sweat dotted Wei Zheng’s forehead and he seemed slightly agitated. Fearing that the heat was distressing his loyal minister, His Majesty personally fanned Wei Zheng. At that moment, people outside the chamber requested to see His Majesty. It was Xu Maogong, Qin Shubao, and others holding a dragon head. I was among them that day. The dragon head suddenly fell from the sky. After our discussion, we dared not to report it, so we specifically came to inform His Majesty.” As Cheng Yaojin spoke of this, his face was filled with reminiscence, as though reminiscing about the circumstances of that day.
“If Lord Wei Zheng didn’t leave the palace, who killed the Jinghe Dragon King?” Lu Huaming was amazed and couldn’t help but ask.
Shen Luo also found it astonishing and looked at Cheng Yaojin.
“Wei Zheng woke up in shock at that moment and apologized, stating that he had killed the dragon in his dream. Although he was playing a game in His Majesty’s presence, he dreamt that he had left the palace, stood on cloud, and chased the dragon with his sword. The Jinghe Dragon King fled in a panic and Wei Zheng temporarily lost him. Overwhelmed with urgency, and luckily, His Majesty was fanning him, enabling him to chase after the evil dragon with the help of three gusts of wind. He beheaded the dragon with his sword, and the dragon head fell into the void,” Cheng Yaojin said.
